"Guardians of Truth" – A DW Documentary on Julian Assange and the Dark Secrets of War. Discover the story behind one of the most significant whistleblowing cases of our time with DW's latest documentary: "Guardians of Truth: Julian Assange and the Dark Secrets of War"   🎥 Led by renowned Turkish journalist Can Dündar, this documentary offers an in-depth look at the Wikileaks publications that revealed alleged war crimes committed by the US military in Iraq. Over six months, the DW team accompanied Stella Assange's fight to free her husband, #JulianAssange, culminating in his release on June 25, 2024. Dündar, alongside co-director Sarah Mabrouk, researched the "Collateral Murder" video released by Wikileaks in 2010, which shows US soldiers firing at journalists and civilians from Apache helicopters in Baghdad. The DW team tracked down an Iraqi survivor and a US soldier involved in the incident, reuniting them for the first time in 17 years. While Julian Assange is now free, Dündar raises crucial questions about the ruling's implications for journalism. If espionage laws can silence those exposing war crimes and corruption, what does this mean for the future of truth? Don't miss this documentary that illuminates the lasting impacts of the Assange case. Can Dündar, Sarah Mabrouk, Manja Wolff, Julien Barrau Boulois, Cem Bahadir Mete, Robert Fiedler, Tim Tabellion, Humam Jandali, Rekawt Khalid, Julia Zimmermann, Lars Jandel, Christiane Radeke, Hanna Suhr, Sarah Stolle, Frauke Sandig, Rolf Rische, Tim Klimeš

🚀 Introducing 'Frau, vui kuda?' - a new vodcast highlighting women's stories and rights       DW's new Russian-language vodcast Frau, vui kuda? (Frau, what now?) presents compelling stories of women from Russia and Germany challenging gender norms.     Designed for Russian-speaking women aged 25 to 40, the show addresses central questions on women's rights in Russia. It features insightful discussions with female leaders and experts, including German politician of Russian origin Dr. Anastasia Vishnevskaya-Mann and Russian political scientist Ekaterina Schulmann, among others.     Reflecting on their decision to start the vodcast, co-hosts Natalia Smolentceva and Kseniya Safronova recount: "We both moved from Russia to Germany nearly ten years ago. Comparing the ways women live and behave here made us reflect on gender roles and equality. Our aim with this vodcast is to both entertain and empower - especially our audience in Russia, where women's rights are under pressure nowadays."      🎙️ Episodes are released monthly, starting July 15. Available via DW Russian YouTube channel, Apple Podcasts and Spotify and Instagram (DW Новости).  #journalism #WomensRights

🌍 Reporting from exile: "Despite the work ban in Russia, the voice of DW's Russia correspondents remains audible." About two years ago, our DW studio in Moscow was forced to close, and our journalists had their press accreditation revoked. DW was labeled as a foreign agent by Russia. Since then, the team of about 10 journalists, led by Bureau Chief Juri Rescheto, has been reporting from exile in Riga. Our DW Ambassador Fanny Facsar recently spoke with Juri about the challenges of continuing their crucial work under these circumstances. #journalism #pressfreedom

How can newsrooms effectively leverage social media to engage audiences, especially Gen-Z? With over 400,000 followers on TikTok and Instagram, DW's Johanna Rüdiger shares her journey from launching DW's first-ever TikTok account to building a substantial online community through innovative storytelling and engagement. In an interview with The Fix Media, Johanna discusses strategies for newsrooms to connect with their audiences effectively. Here are some of Johanna's insights: Engagement over traffic: Prioritize delivering journalism directly on social media and measure success by engagement. Multi-platform strategy: Adapt content across various social media channels like TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and YouTube. Constructive and dialogue-driven journalism: Create content that provides value and fosters meaningful dialogue. Educational content: Use short-form videos to communicate complex topics and engage younger audiences effectively. Listening to the audience: Understand audience preferences through constant interaction and tailor content accordingly. Community building: Enhance connection and trust by responding to comments and creating content with the audience. Journalistic skills adaptation: Adapt traditional journalistic skills for social media formats and preferences. “Good old journalism” works really well on these platforms, it just needs to tweak storytelling a little bit. People still want well-researched facts, a well-told story. Diversification and adaptability: Diversify presence across multiple platforms to avoid over-reliance on any single one and adapt to new platforms.

German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock highlights Press Freedom and Democracy at DW's GMF 2024    "Where press freedom is under pressure, freedom itself is in danger – for all citizens," declared Baerbock in her keynote speech at #GMF24.      The two-day international media conference, held at the World Conference Center Bonn, focused on "Sharing solutions" to contemporary media challenges. Baerbock emphasized the critical role of independent journalism: "The power of journalism lies in its ability to tell stories that would otherwise go unnoticed, to ask questions that would otherwise go unanswered, to hold accountable those whose power be unchecked."    Prior to the forum, Baerbock visited DW’s headquarter in Bonn and engaged in discussions with exiled DW journalists from Ukraine, Belarus, and Russia, highlighting her commitment to press freedom and support for journalists facing adversity. #DW #GMF24 #PressFreedom
